so, if we make the adjustment as we've been doing... [WorldSettings] SectorWidth=20 SectorHeight=20 SectorMaxObject=256 Border=35000.0 MinHeight=1.0 MaxHeight=35000.0 the game IGNORES it???? that's NOT good...that insures some serious issues with the KAW terrain, amongst others Maybe we should ask TK; it'll be yet another question that'll go unaswered (like the 'need mesh name' ones)

DA; there's actually 3 Hellcats available...(albeit all based off the -3). SF2 modded versions in the works. Working the night shiift off Okinawa...

File Name: HMS Cavalier (Royal Navy C-Class Destroyer) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 16 March 2011 File Category: Destroyers HMS Cavalier, "C" Class Destroyer For SF2 series (Full5 merged reccomended*) -- This is Hinch's WW2 era/post-war era Royal Navy destroyer. UPDATED: 8/30/2012 for PTO and SF2NA usage new names list, other small tweeks. Usable from WW2 through the 1970s *should work in SF2 installs with NA; this has NOT been tested* Click here to download this file

opps!! good catch! thank you!!

The Final Countdown???" ww2 boats just got uploaded the other day ... also, grab the Philllipines upgrade terrain (and the terrain itself) for ww2 carriers you'll have to build a PTO mod folder, of course.

File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO - F4F Wildcats and SBD Dauntless File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 31 August 2012 File Category: F4F / F6F / F7F / F8F SF2 WW2 F4F-3/4 Wildcat, SBD-3/5 Dauntless -- Something for the PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *There is a possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.* This is a compilation of all my work for Wolf's SBD Dauntless and Pasko's F4F Wildcat. It is designed to replace ALL the previously released versions. So, be advised. There are 5 aircraft in this pak: F4F-3 (pre- and early war) F4F-4 (early war to mid-43 FM-2 (mid to late war -this is a stand in aircraft, based on the -4) SBD-3 (pre and early war, to mid-43 -includes RNZAF skin) SBD-5 (mid war, tri-color) and ???? a surprise! All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they REALLLLLLY do need further fine tuning by experts. All lighting on all aircraft is 100% historically correct. All are carrier capable, with the SF2NA statments for those (ok, 2) aircraft with folding wings Use Shift/0 to open the window, and Shift/9 to fold the wings -Wilcat ONLY! All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. I've tried, as best as possible, to use the 'StartDefaultDate' on all skins to limit the availability for pre-War markings from those that came into being post-January, 1942. The -4 'cats have skins that start 1/42, and the Dauntless has the same pre and post 1/42 starts. Hopefully, they will work as they should. Userlists are included for all aircraft, as being 'exported' means USN, USMC, and in the SBD-3's case, RNZAF.SF2 versions of the old 'box art' Hangars are included for those that had them. Sounds, weapons are included. Also, for you enjoyment, a never-before-released-to-the-public "Surprise" aircraft. Yes, its a total stand-in, and dosen't really even look like what it represents, but ... you can have to fun with it (flying for the Red Side, that is, attacking it.) As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. All readmes from the original releases, and re-releases, are included where discoverable from the archives. Happy Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

look like i've got a lot of running lights to add.... and you can see the Yagi antennas halfway out on the outer wing panels Ed,is the seat part of the LOD? if so, might want to raise it up a bit, so the headrest is level with the T on the side canopy frame (it just looks low to me) this is really coming along NICE!!!!

there's actually 2 serial fonts at simmerspaint shop ...grab them both, you can't go wrong!! as to the nape tank, it's data ini will tell the game it's a drop tank; nothing nasty will happen when you drop (unless you're standing where it lands! Trust me!

startos: like stary said, -4 posing as the FM-2, since we don't actually HAVE an FM2 (did you know the FM-1 was exactly the same as the F4F-4, only with 4 guns) markings are USS Gambier Bay prateor: that German Spook figure is too cool! required Screen: "Off To the Turkey Shoot"

aside from it being uttery craptastic!! In the readme for, I enumerate all the differences (and the other skin is the USS Ranger in the Atlantic) compare the hangar and loading screen images with the 'in game' model. considering it was used in combat only one time... truely, exceptionally courageous men out of couriosity, for those that have the DAT Devestator, would there in any interest in a skin/ini pak for that? My Midway Devestator skins are 100% historicaly correct; right down to matching Modex and BuNums. I sent them to Capun a long time ago, but don't think they ever got posted there

Japanese battleships are closing on our Task Force!!! Protect the carriers!!! Give them time to withdraw!!!

excellent! looks REAL good! if you can, make sure the rocket mounts are seperate meshs, so they dont show when not loaded.

here's a fix for something I missed: open the CVE data ini (Casablanca class), scroll down to Cat1, and replace the existing LaunchTime= with the one below.... LaunchTime=3.0 was too slow. this may be too fast, but gets Wildcats up to speed so they can fly better

new, updated version uploaded should say: 'for ETO/PTO/MTO/and post-war usage' and "should work in SF2 installs withOUT NA; this has NOT been tested"

very! a reminder, the Cleveland and Atlanta's should also be useable through early/mid 50s i also forgot to include the Cavailier updated; that'll be along shortly! (also usable through the 1950-70s)

File Name: SF/Wo* Extractor for 08 levels File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 30 August 2012 File Category: SF/WO* Utilities/Editors this is the 3rd Wird cat extractor for SF/Wo* games at the 08 patch level. unzip, and drop on you deskpop; especially if your machine is Vista or Windows 7. You can run the executable from there, and then navigate to the cat you wish to extract. It works on my Win7 machine, with the single remaning 08 game install Click here to download this file

it's called 'being behind the curve' geary, if you have SF2:I expansion pak with the mustang (or, afaik, WoI's expansion pak, for 1stGens), the available skins should work them. there's a BUNCH of that era skins in the SF2 D/L section. I'll zip up the extractor, and uploads ASAP. REMEMBER: if you're on Vista or Win7, place the extractor's folder on the Desktop, NOT into the users or program files. Otherwise it won't work.

File Name: SF2NA WW2 Phillipines Islands (1944) Terrain Update File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 30 August 2012 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Terrains SF2NA WW2 Phillipines Islands (1944) Terrain Update -- Something for the PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY) = *This mod will aboslutely =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs; it is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 PTO-centric mods folder that is built off the SF2:NA exe.* A very quick and dirty mod for the WW2 Phillipines Island terrain that adds the required NA "coding" and _water.bmp with carrier stations. This is =NOT= a full terrain: just inis & a _water.bmp. It is to be applied to the modified version of the terrain I (re)relased in 2008, avaliable at this URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/7145-ww2-phillipine-islands-by-edward/ New main, data, targets, nations,and types inis, along with (excessvely) modified desert airfield inis, allow for a 'drag-drop' update to SF2NA. A new SF2NA style water bmp with 2 carrier 'zones' was created and included. LimitedNations is set to TRUE; make sure you have the latest version of the WW2 Nations ini, as 'IJN' is most definatly one of the nations needed. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, PLEASE read them for necessary instructions. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. More Carrier Capable ™ Aircraft are coming soon ... please be paitent! I'm only one guy doing 6 peoples work on no budget.... Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

iirc, there's a mushroom close-up on the mokito here: http://modelfan.ru/ hit the ''translate to english' button at the top, go to aircraft of ww2, and start scroll. i don't remember what page its on, sorry!

I agree ... great Buc shots (pun intended!!) as to WW2, we need better models for many aircraft; many are 'unavailable' to those that want, and most importantly, we need FMs for the ones we have. -- required screenie: testing concept of Type99 torps as 'cruise missile' for WW2 'Naval_Strike/Cruise_missle' attack profiles on the Betty. It didn't turn out quite the way I wanted, and so back to the drawing board. But, at least the 'shipdamagedeffect' is working!
